My Laptop's CPU is an old gen Intel Core i3 3217U and I've noticed that the Average Temps in Idling are around 59-62c and peaks up to 90c while playing CPU intensive games such as GTA V and Minecraft, or even ridiculously low demanding games like Adventure Quest 3D.
It's not overclocked, does not support turbo boost and I've carefully cleaned the heat sink 3 times. Also did format, but solved Nothing. Please help, I don't want to roast it.

CLeaning the heatsink is one thing, ...applying new thermal paste is another...

UNfortunately, with laptops, the latter typically becomes a multi-hour exercise of patience and prying and disassembly/removal of 95 screws of different sizes/lengths...
